Ergonomically it needs some work. Too many of the buttons are crowded too near the bottom. It's difficult to one hand it, and press the numbers, enter and clear buttons.
Programming it is pretty easy, You ID all the devices you have, then define activities (watch tivo)(watch bluray). That is all done on-line via a client. The results are transferred to the remote via usb.
I have an 880, but ergonomics are my biggest problem with it. The buttons just seemed positioned 'wrong'. Often used buttons (fast forward and rewind) are positioned right above the 'skip to the end' type buttons. That took a while to get use to.
Programming it is stupidly easy. They have a lot of components predefined, so you just pick what you have. After that, you tell it which components are on which settings for each activity. All that is guided for you, like it will ask what input on the TV and output on the receiver is required, or if you want to control the volume with the receiver or the TV. It is really easy.
